DOG POO BINS IN MOTION

Dear Caroline,

Re: Achieve a cleaner village

I applaud your efforts.  I attended the Parish Council Meeting last night (8th Feb) and was delighted to learn that through the Partnership and Parish Council funds have been approved to provide around 20 Dog Poo bins around Hawkinge (similar to those in Sandgate) which I understand Shepway will maintain.

In addition the Parish  Council is promoting a "Clean Up" the village day for the Spring.

Two commendable initiatives which all residents should be pleased with and support.

The Council feel that children should not be involved in the "Clean Up" day o­n grounds of safety.

I wonder if this is wise as with proper supervision and equipment (Gloves/Litter sticks) the local school children might well be pleased to be involved
